Statue of Sen-en-mut carved from grey green schist. The official is portrayed with a simple wig, kneeling and offering a cryptographic transcription of the prenomen of Hatshepsut, the cobra with a sun disk between its horns sitting on kȝ-arms, to the goddess Renenutet from Armant. The inscription is carved in sunken relief in three columns on the back pillar of the statue and continues in line around the base, on the top edge of the base in line, and on the edges of the back written in two columns. Names of Sen-en-mut were erased and not restored. On the right arm of the statue the cartouche of the queen can be seen.
